Hi, <Maybe this will make this a little more readable>
I wanted to maybe clear up a few points... I know that this depends on the relevant Specs... Except that neither I, nor the Warehouse involved have a spec that covers or has an example of this issue... But they are willing to send what I need to receive to have the expected results... I can go to the SW provider and ask for an Enhancement... But if I go that route, I want to make doubly sure I am not asking for a "square peg" to fit in a "round hole"... And I want to make sure I am asking for something that actually aligns with Best Practices (whatever that means with respect to EDI) = = = = Original message, reformatted, subtly changed, follows = = = = Have any of you experience with the Incoming (or even Outgoing) 846 and Stock Codes with more than one LOT number? If you have Stock distributed across a number of LOTs at your warehouse, how would that be documented in an EDI 846? I would think that you should be able to document the QTY on hand (or available) of each LOT for each Stock Code? As an experiment I manipulated the Stock/LOT levels for a couple of Stock Codes within the Application and then manually generated an 846 "from my Warehouse" for those two Stock Codes matching the levels I had set. The Stock and LOT distribution as in the below table… Lot Stock code WH received on hand Expiry date Creation date 0111 43.539V 90 8,000 8,000 06/22/11 01/22/11 0211 43.539V 90 2,000 2,000 06/22/11 02/22/11 0311 43.539V 90 1,000 1,000 06/22/11 03/22/11 0611 43.505 90 8,000 8,000 06/22/12 06/22/11 0711 43.505 90 2,000 2,000 07/22/12 06/22/11 0811 43.505 90 1,000 1,000 08/22/12 06/22/11 The 846 I generated contained (amongst the usual fluff) the following detail lines: LIN**VN*43.505*UP*830324001410*LT*0611 QTY*33*8000*EA LIN**VN*43.505*UP*830324001410*LT*0711 QTY*33*2000*EA LIN**VN*43.505*UP*830324001410*LT*0811 QTY*33*1000*EA LIN**VN*43.539V*LT*0111 QTY*33*8000*EA LIN**VN*43.539V*LT*0211 QTY*33*2000*EA LIN**VN*43.539V*LT*0311 QTY*33*1000*EA My expectation was that importing this would generate no variances since each Stock/LOT number QTY matched the On Hand QTY? Instead I received a variance for each line, declaring the Total Stock QTY. (And then I checked, no there is no option to recognize the Stock any other way) That doesn’t seem right to me… So, I generated, this time using the Same application I am Importing the 846 through, an outgoing 846 for the same Warehouse, the lines in it look like: LIN**VN*43.505*UP*830324001410*LT*JUL08 LIN**VN*43.505*UP*830324001410*LT*0611 LIN**VN*43.505*UP*830324001410*LT*0711 LIN**VN*43.505*UP*830324001410*LT*0811 QTY*33*11000*EA LIN**VN*43.539V*LT*0111 LIN**VN*43.539V*LT*0211 LIN**VN*43.539V*LT*0311 QTY*33*11000*EA (FWIW, the JUL08 LOT has no On Hand or Available stock) Which at least suggests what LOTs exist, but not how much stock is available in each of them… So maybe I am a bit confused… Anyone have some comments on this? Am I expecting something that just isn’t going to arrive in an 846? Or is there a different way (or document) I can use to do the same thing?
